SENATORS FAULKNER and Lucas
have been charmingly intimate the
past week as associate counsel in the

when the ideas of December come
and the Senatorial toga hanging on
the hooks shall be reached for by both
and each get an arm hole, then look
out for blustery times and matter of

Emm Abbott defends Herself in Church

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 10.-A
furry was created here yesterday by
an occurrence in the McKindree
Methodist church. Rev. DR.. w. A.
Chandler, the pastor, had delivered
a bitter invective against the stage,
in which he impugned the habits of
many Of its votaries. Emma Alb,
bolt. the noted actress, was in the
audience, and at the conclusion Of
the sermon arose and said that she
had been on the stage since she was
eight years of age, and had tried
conscientiously and to the best oil her
ability to do her duto before God at
all time, and that she would defy
anyone in the whole world to say
one word against her fair name.
There was q ripple of applause, after
which Mr.. Chandler said 81
will not undertake to reply to the
lady, as she is lady, but such
performance is more suited in the
theatre than in the house Of God"

THE FEARFUL HOLOCAUST.
Early on Monday night the East
bound express on the Chicago and
Atlantic Railroad was dashed into by
a freight train near the town of kouts,
Indiana. The express had been de-
layed owing to trouble with the en-
CINE; no alarm was placed for the
train in the rear, and the light of the
semaphore signal was DISTRACTED by
the fog. The passenger cars took
fire from the stove or from lamps and
a scene of the utmost horror ensued.
Accounts Of the loss Of life are con-
flicting. According to spectators
from twenty to thirty persons were
killed in the crush or burned to death,
while the railroad officials claim that
but nine persons were killed and elev
en- wounded.
